Yep, that's a stash filler, for sure!


My haul from the SAPMA Expo today is quite small;

1 x Showcase Models 1/350 Collins-class submarine (ANN001) - I now have an O-boat (Oberon-class), a Collins-class, an Astute-class & two Los Angeles-class submarines
1 x NutsPlanet 1/35 Vagabond figure (T35006) - a post-apocalypse diorama figure
1 x NutsPlanet 1/35 Clever Hunter figure (T35013) - a post-apocalypse diorama figure
1 x FireStorm 1/35 Australian Matilda Tank Crew #1 (FS35202) - WW2 Australian tankers, I need more!
1 x FireStorm 1/35 Australian Matilda Tank Crew #2 (FS35203) - WW2 Australian tankers, I need more!
1 x Legend Productions 1/35 Eagle Yote* Pack Set [6 x pieces] (LF3D021) - for use as general diorama & stowage baggage
1 x set of sculpting tools - I'm going to need to create my own aliens for a sci-fi diorama & these'll help


[*: I think they mean "Tote"]

Yep and quite happy about it too 😊
Yours is nothing to scoff at either matey and it looks like some rather interesting bits there too 😉 👍

A quick raid on the Hannants website to acquire some Squadron He 162 canopies (the one in my Planet kit has long since vanished) and a CMK He 162 bang sear, purely out of curiosity but it may well have an accident with some rubber.

I have to say I had a better day than I expected.

And I scored a few interesting purchases;

1 x Trumpeter 1/48 C-47A Skytrain (02828) - big kit of the lovely Dak
1 x AZ Model 1/48 Avia B.35.2 1940 (AZ 4802) - it'll be wearing Czech markings
1 x Alley Cat 1/48 Canberra B.6 nose conversion with optional camera fairings (AC48012C) - I have a PR Canberra, it should cause confusion amongst the aircraft nuts JMN's
1 x Cammett Ltd 1/48 Blue Water Nissiles for the Airfix TSR.2 - only I don't have an Airfix TSR.2 but I do have 2 x Airfix (new tool) 1/48 Buccaneers!
1 x Hornet 1/35 Set of 5 Heads with British officers' caps - every military needs officers, it gives WO's someone to shout at
1 x Hornet 1/35 Set of 5 Heads with WW2 style short back & sides haircuts - will do for most militaries over most periods
1 x Hornet 1/35 Set of 5 Heads with UK rimless helmets (paras/AFV crews/bikers) - the RAMs will use the rimless helmet for most of WW2 & into Vietnam
1 x FireStorm 1/35 Australian Army Formation Signs WW2 dry transfers - it includes unit markings for the odd M3 Grant variant I intend modelling for next year's Expo

And NCOs to "respectfully correct" (SNCOs) or avoid (JNCOs and EMs).

Had a surprise in the mail today..a parcel from me mate Kerry who's dumping his incomplete aircraft on me and what arrived today is pretty good.
All are destined to be wiffy fodder 
In the pile are these ..no idea what brands these are apart from one which is Matchbox..a Mig 21MF in fact.
Then there's is lit...all are 72nd scale.
P-61 Black Widow..now ive got 2 
F-16 fighting Falcon
Vampire
A Walrus fuselage
F-5 freedom figther
A flying pancake
Polikarpov I-16
And I'm not sure but I think it's a RAAF Wirraway.

A flying visit to Uncle Frank on Saturday yielded a load of Kora decals for Spanish subjects and another R/S He 112.  I noticed they now have injection canopies but the older ones have vacform ones.

Got a NOVO Harrier with some nice decals , hope they will work ....
Mrs. Killnoizer wants one for her working place !

Throw the decals. They'll disintegrate when threatened with water.

From the Adelaide show.

This will join the Yak 38 & 141 in my stash for a triumvirate of VTOL Yaks.  I've not built an Anigrand kit before.  Looks good in the box.  Slight bananaing in the fuselage halves.

I also held in my hands a Unicrap kit.  First one i've seen in the flesh.  I thought "nice box art", remembered what Lee says about them and put it down.

In addition to the above kits, two different bottles of orange SMS paint (to custom mix paint for General Lee), 100 #11 scalpel blades, 10 0.5mm drill bits (I break a lot of these), a dental mirror & pick (thinking of taking up a new hobby  ), and a pair of surgical clamps (alway wanted a pair of these - now I can play at being Hawkeye).

Hurray!  I can claim a small victory in my endless war.

See, I do pay attention.

I quite like Anigrand, they tend to be a bit "clunky" and heavy, but once cleaned up go together ok    Make sure you give the castings a thorough wash before putting them together.

Which one? From Mash or the Marvel Universe Avengers?

Gondor

That Be-2000 is a nice kit, just a pity they didn't do the larger Albattros. I know Anigrand did but I can't afford them.
